OAKLAND, California (Ticker) -- The Golden State Warriors are
not used to games like this, which are becoming all too common
for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Larry Hughes scored 20 points and Antawn Jamison added 19 as the
Warriors snapped their season-high seven-game losing streak with
their most lopsided victory of the season, 117-88 over the
struggling Cavaliers.

Both teams came in with seven straight losses, matching the
longest current slide in the NBA, but Golden State looked like
title contenders against hapless Cleveland.

The Warriors eclipsed their highest total of the season by seven
and scored their most points in a regulation game since February
18, 2000, when they scored 122 against Boston.

"It feels good, I'm happy for the guys in the locker room," said
Warriors coach Brian Winters, who improved to 4-9 since taking
over for Dave Cowens on December 16. "When you haven't won in a
while, you want to make sure you win the game."

Golden State avenged a 15-point loss in Cleveland on January 2
and won for the first time since their stunning 101-90 upset of
the Los Angeles Lakers on December 26.

"We remember what happened in Cleveland," Jamison said. "We
remember getting blown out. We took it personally. We definitely
wanted to get out and make a quick start and take advantage."

Cleveland had a 13-12 lead with 5:56 left in the first quarter
before Golden State reeled off 10 straight points to take
control.

Erick Dampier's basket with 5:18 left gave the Warriors the lead
for good and Hughes followed with a pair of free throws. Jamison
converted a pair of layups around a jumper by Hughes to give
Golden State a 22-13 advantage.

The Warriors had 29-19 edge after the first quarter and put it
away with a 13-3 run in the second. They had a 39-31 lead with
4:55 left in the first half, but Hughes made a dunk to spark the
run and Jamison capped it with a 3-pointer at two minutes to
make it 52-34.

Cleveland never got closer than 11 thereafter and Golden State
had its largest lead, 115-83, with 1:51 remaining.

Rookie Jason Richardson and Chris Mills scored 15 points apiece
for the Warriors, who had a 49-38 rebounding edge and scored 58
points in the paint.

"We got really good production out of everyone and I think it
was a really good team effort," Winters said. "It was an overall
good team game."

Adonal Foyle scored a season-high 14 points and Bobby Sura added
nine and a season-high 11 assists as the Warriors defeated the
Cavs for just the second time in 19 meetings.

Chris Mihm had 20 points and 10 rebounds and Zydrunas Ilgauskas
scored 17 points off the bench for Cleveland, which has lost a
season-high eight straight overall and eight in a row on the
road.

The Cavaliers fell to 0-5 on a six-game western road trip.

"I was looking for anyone who scould score tonight," Cavs coach
John Lucas said. "It has been a long trip and we need to get
home and get some rest. They were the aggressive team and just
took it to us."

"There wasn't any fatigue coming in coming in," Ilgauskas said.
"It has been a tough West Coast trip but we aren't looking for
any excuses. We haven't been able to put together an overall
team effort where everyone is on the same night."

Lamond Murray, who scored a season-high 40 points against the
Warriors at Gund Arena, was held to five on 2-of-6 shooting in
21 minutes.

"It was our defense," Jamison said. "Last game, he was coming
off screens without getting bumped. Tonight we wanted to make
him put it on the ground. The difference is that he wasn't
getting the open looks that he was getting in the first game."
